Thomas E. Dickey 58552e8c76 ncurses 6.0 - patch 20170107
+ amend changes for tput to reset tty modes to "sane" if the program
  is run as "reset", like tset.  Likewise, ensure that tset sends
  either reset- or init-strings.
+ improve manual page descriptions of tput init/reset and tset/reset,
  to make it easier to see how they are similar and different.
+ move a static result from key_name() to _nc_globals
+ modify _nc_get_screensize to allow for use_env() and use_tioctl()
  state to be per-screen when sp-funcs are configured, better matching
  the behavior when using the term-driver configuration.
+ improve cross-references in manual pages for often used functions
+ move SCREEN field for use_tioctl() data before the ncursesw fields,
  and limit that to the sp-funcs configuration to improve termlib
  compatibility (cf:  20120714).
+ correct order of initialization for traces in use_env() and
  use_tioctl() versus first trace calls.

The function <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> displays a menu to its associated
subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow,
use <STRONG><A HREF="curs_refresh.3x.html">refresh(3x)</A></STRONG> or some equivalent <STRONG>curses</STRONG> routine (the
implicit <STRONG>doupdate</STRONG> triggered by an <STRONG>curses</STRONG> input request
will do). <STRONG>post_menu</STRONG> resets the selection status of all
items.
The function <STRONG>unpost_menu</STRONG> erases menu from its associated
subwindow.
</PRE><H2><a name="h2-RETURN-VALUE">RETURN VALUE</a></H2><PRE>
These routines return one of the following:
<STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> The routine succeeded.
<STRONG>E_SYSTEM_ERROR</STRONG>
System error occurred (see <STRONG>errno</STRONG>).
<STRONG>E_BAD_ARGUMENT</STRONG>
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argu-
ment.
<STRONG>E_POSTED</STRONG>
The menu has already been posted.
<STRONG>E_BAD_STATE</STRONG>
Routine was called from an initialization or termina-
tion function.
<STRONG>E_NO_ROOM</STRONG>
Menu is too large for its window. You should con-
sider using <STRONG>set_menu_format</STRONG> to solve the problem.
<STRONG>E_NOT_POSTED</STRONG>
The menu has not been posted.
<STRONG>E_NOT_CONNECTED</STRONG>
No items are connected to the menu.
